Inspired by an Elegant Wedding in a Barn

This wedding, sent to us by the photographer, John Schnack, is definitely an unforgettable celebration! I love all the personal touches that the bride and groom incorporated into the ceremony and reception and her Vera Wang dress is absolutely to die for! The barn is adorable from the outside but once they move inside for the ceremony it’s absolutely stunning! It has high ceilings and the decor added the perfect amount of rustic and antique elegance to an already amazing setting. Not only is the barn fabulous but I love that adorable silver Airstream trailer! Such a cute backdrop for some great portraits of this beautiful couple! Once you see all the images you’ll understand why this wedding was also featured on Martha Stewart…it’s insanely gorgeous!

Here’s what photographer John Schnack had to say about the day…

“There are not enough superlatives to describe Courtney and Chris’s destination wedding in Lake Almanor, California.  From the family-owned 150-year-old barn at which the ceremony and reception took place to the most intricate of details (antlers!), it was an honor for me to document the wedding of such a truly special couple.”

Be Prepared to Be Inspired…

 

Love his modern gray suit with matching gray sneakers!

Cute foldable itinerary for guests including food and fun options!

Mismatched groomsmen suits!

Classic barnyard wedding with a vintage automobile to complete the look!

How adorable are these flower girls with their green tulle ballerina skirts?!

Bridesmaids tiered dresses are so trendy!

A chic way to decorate is by hanging flowers in mason jars! So cute!

Love their rustic drinks settings! A tub filled with refreshing drinks and ice is the way to go especially during a hot summer wedding!

Love the rustic decor mixed with chic vintage pieces, like the birdcage!

Forget traditional table cloths! How gorgeous are these burlap-inspired table cloths! So perfect!

Totally in LOVE with their getaway car! And that “Just Married” banner is to die for!

Stunning interior for a barnyard wedding! Truly classic!

Love the picture-less frames for wall decor!

The perfect backdrop for a wedding table!
